THE NEW OIL ENTERPRISE.

A member of the new Southern
Cotton Oil Company is now in Dallas,
prospecting prior to the first steps to-
wards the establishment of one of
these extensive cotton seed oil manu-
factories in this city. The company is
chartered in New Jersey with CAPT
tai stock of five million dollars; and
the managers are men of the highest
order of business ability, enterprise
and practical experience in the cotton
oil industry. 1t Is strictly bona fide
business enterprise, and will be for
midable rival of the great American
Cotton Oil Trust company, which has
for several years had monopoly OF
the oil manufacturing business in the
South. This great monopoly paid
its own prices for seed and secured
its own prices for its product
The South is to be congratulated
on escape from its grasping clutch
The new company has lately placed
with Bridgewater, Mass, factory an
order for 25S cotton gins, sixteen hull
ing machines and other machinery in
proportion, which is the largest single
order of the kind ever made. The
new company claim to be able to
crush as many tons of seed as the
American Oil Trust Co., and with i'm
proved machinery to produce five gal
ons of oil per ton more, and preserve
fifty pounds of lint per ton of seed
more than the machinery now i'll use.
The cities in Texas which are to
have mills of this company are Dallas,
Houston, San Antonio and Galveston

Ammonia in Baking Powders.
from the Scientific American. ]

from the Scientific American.
Among the recent discoveries in
science and chemistry, none is more
important than the uses to which com.
mon ammonia can be properly put as
leavening agent, and which indicate
that this familiar salt is hereafter to
perform an active part in the prepare
ton of our daily food.
The carbonate OF ammonia is an ex
ceedingly volatile substance. Place a
small portion of it upon a knife and
hold over a flame, and it will almost
Immediately be entirely developed
into gas and pass off into the air. The
gas thus formed is a simple compost
ton of nitrogen and hydrogen. No
residue is left from the ammonia. This
gives il its superiority as leavening
mower over soda and cream of tartar
used alone, aud has induced its use as
a supplement to these articles. A
small quantity of ammonia in the
dough is effective in producing bread
that will be lighter, sweeter and more
wholesome than that risen by any
other leavening agent. When 1t
is acted upon by the
heat of baking the leavening
gas that raises the dough is liberated.
In this act it uses itseli up, as IL were;
the amonia is entirely diffused, leaving
no trace or residum whatever. The
light, fluffy, flaky appearance, so desir-
able in biscuits, ETC., and so sought af-
ter by professional cooks, is said to be
impaired to them only by the use of
this agent.
The bakers and baking powder man.
ufacturers producing the finest goods
have been quick to avail themselves OF
this useful discovery, and the hand
soonest and best bread and cake are
now largely risen by the aid of amo-
mia combined, of course, with other
leavcning material.
Amosia is one of the best known
of the laboratory. If, as
seems TO be Justly claimed for it, the
application of its properties TO the
purpose of cooking, results in giving
us lighter and more wholesome bread,
biscuit and cake, il will prove boon
TO dyspeptic humanity. and will speed
ily force itself into general use in the
new field TO which science has assign
cd II.

The inhuman coercive measures to
which the Salisbury ministry has re-
sorted may be the swittest steps that
could be taken for Ireland's relief
Even more rigid oppression might
hasten the revolution which is sure to
come, and to which the Irishman must
look for the righting of this wrong
The deliberate selfishness and extrava-
giant pomp of ali Englishman give him
too great advantage of the free-heart-
ed plain-mannered son of Erin. They
may not mix. Ireland should belong
to and be governed by the peculiar
race found there by the Holy st. Pat

The Corsicana Courier evidently
believes in sympathy of substantial
kind. II says:
The State senate has rendered the
downtrodden people OF Ireland the
sympathy Of the people of Texas.
Well, now, the sympathy OF Texas is a
big thing, for fact, but 1t won't buy
corn bread Three grains Of corn

man, woman and child in Texas would

The bill postponing forced collcc
ton of taxes in the drouth counties is
yet under consideration of the gov
ernor. Collections are going in to the
comptroller at the rate of $4,000 per
day. 1t is the general impression that
Gov. Ross will veto the bill, as ii
would cause an empty treasury, and
nonresident taxpayers would be the
principal beneficiaries.

COMMENTING on Senator Coke's let
ter to the HERALD defining his posi-
ton OH prohibition, the Waxahachie
Mirror says:
This is just what the Mirror ex.
pected him to do. Whatever his per-
sonal convictions may be land he
clearly sets them forth) he has too
much good sense of propriety to
place his individual views above those
of the able convention which met at
Galveston last summer, and too much
patriotism, to take step that would
result, at least in measure, in dis
rupting the Democratic party in
Texas.

AS u matter of news and genera
interest the HERALD might state that
the ladies who are now lecturing in
Texas on the temperance question are
operating under the auspices of tho
National Temperance Bureau, and not
under the auspices of Texas proh.bi-
ton committees. The appointments
were made before the constitutional
amendment was submitted.

clared that he wanted no better evil

TIE HERALD congratulates many
brethren of the press who have taken
sides, land usually the right side,) on
the whiskey question. Many of these
friends doubtless have barely sufficient
patronage to live on, and risk a great
deal in leaving the fence and thereby
dividing their support. Yet others
like goblers on a picket fence, are
astride of the troublesome issue and
trying to get firm enough footing to
make the awful leap. We trust that
none ray fall off, Let them spread
their feathers and fly down deliber-
s.ely and show where u.sy stand.

The Age is the only paper in the
State that failed to thoroughly nnder-
derstand Senator Coke's letter to the
HERALD relating to prohibition. An
It's like Uncle Danl may consider il
paradoxical and unsatisfactory; yet it
is very plain letter. The author is
opposed to prohibition aud will vote
that way, but is not the man for the
whiskeyites to send over the State TO
plead for them.
